SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of an

1995, and related determinations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 3, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Pauline C. Campbell, Response and Recovery Directorate, Federal 
Emergency Management Agency, Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646-3606.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter 
dated August 3, 1995, the President declared an emergency under the 
authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 
Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.), as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State 
of Florida, resulting from Hurricane Erin on August 2-3, 1995, is of 
sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant an emergency 
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 
Emergency Assistance Act (``the Stafford Act''). I, therefore, 
declare that such an emergency exists in the State of Florida.
    You are authorized to coordinate all emergency efforts which 
have the purpose of alleviating the hardship and suffering caused by 
the emergency on the local population, and to provide appropriate 
assistance for required emergency measures, authorized under Title V 
of the Stafford Act, to save lives, protect property and public 
health and safety, and lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe 
in the designated areas. Specifically, you are authorized to 
identify, mobilize, and provide at your discretion, equipment and 
resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency for 
the seven day period of August 2, 1995 through August 8, 1995.
    In order to provide Federal assistance, you are hereby 
authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes, such 
amounts as you find necessary for Federal emergency assistance and 
administrative expenses. Consistent with the requirement that 
Federal assistance be supplemental, any Federal funds provided under 
the Stafford Act will be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible 
costs.

    The time period prescribed for the implementation of section 
310(a), Priority to Certain Applications for Public Facility and Public 
Housing Assistance, 42 U.S.C. 5153, shall be for a period not to exceed 
six months after the date of this declaration.
    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the authority vested in the 
Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency under Executive 
Order 12148, I hereby appoint Glenn C. Woodard of the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this 
declared emergency.
    I do hereby determine the following areas of the State of Florida 
to have been affected adversely by this declared emergency:

    The counties of Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, 
Gulf, Calhoun, Washington, Holmes, Jackson, Franklin, Wakulla, and 
Brevard for assistance as follows: FEMA intends to provide 
appropriate assistance for required emergency measures, authorized 
under Title V of the Stafford Act, to save lives, protect property 
and public health and safety, and lessen or avert the threat of a 
catastrophe in the designated areas. Specifically, FEMA intends to 
identify, mobilize, and provide at its discretion, equipment and 
resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency for 
the seven day period of August 2, 1995 through August 8, 1995.
